He Wants to Run

"He Wants to Run" is David Kleinberg's story of a guy who hates running and dogs and how David ends up running with his neighbor's dog in rural Cloverdale for 13 years and what Butler teaches David about living and dying. Butler would wait in the middle of the street all day for David to come out to run. As soon as David appeared, Butler would grab David's running pants and start pulling him up the road. Doug Konecky, 16 year theater for San Francisco Theater Blog has written about "He Wants to Run": "Don't expect fireworks, bells or whistles. Do expect the kind of story you can't stop thinking about afterwards. We love ‘He Wants to Run.’ You will too! . . . This show is good enough to play anywhere in town.”
